    Great value ($5 recommended donation). Beautiful small gardens, well filled out with lots of plants and water features. Excellently designed and easy to access.

    Beautiful Azalea Garden open to everyone. There is no fee, but a suggested donation of $5. Absolutely loved this little garden! Perfect time to see these flowers in bloom! Loved the Japanese garden- it's a very peaceful place! Highly recommend seeing this after a long hike in Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor!

    No regrets bring the fam here. It even has an accessible entrance for anyone using a wheelchair or walker. We seriously had a lot of fun and i only wish I'd taken more photos o.0

    A unique treasure on Mount Desert Island you will not want to miss. Spend an hour or two, sit on a bench, bring a camera.

    This is a unique spot worth going! It is a Japanese garden made up of native Maine plants. Even so, the aesthetic really transported you somewhere else. Everywhere was well manicured although a few parts were being renovated. There are plenty of hidden nooks with benches and small grassy areas for you to contemplate life. It can be really serene. Beautiful spot. It is free to come in, but you should definitely donate if possible to keep this place going. There is a small parking lot attached to the entrance. There is not a large sign to the place so look for the square, small green sign that says "In"

    Absolutely stunning! Beautiful and carefully kept. Everything was blooming and fragrant and just gorgeous. There's a donation bin which we'd encourage you to fill. The volunteer, when asked how long we could spend, said happily 'All day!' which I thought was sweet. It's obvious a lot of love goes into keep this garden the serene and contemplative place it is. Every bed was meticulously weeded and maintained. A definite stop if you like flowers, nature and solitude. I could spend a day here with a good book.

    This is such an underrated spot to visit if you're at Acadia/Bar Harbor! My family came here one afternoon for a leisurely stroll and it was such a lovely place - the garden felt like it was bigger than you'd expect once you enter. There's mostly flat ground with a few stepping stones in the middle to cross a tiny stream. True to its name, there were tons of azaleas in all colors and sizes, but also so many other plants to observe and admire. A lot of the elements we saw were inspired by classic Japanese gardens, including some of the cherry blossom trees and sand garden. It's free and open to the public, but an entrance donation is strongly encouraged - a little can go a long way to keep this place beautifully maintained. It was truly so serene and calming to be surrounded by such pretty nature and I couldn't stop taking pictures :) highly recommend setting some time aside to come here while you're in the area.

    This place was great. I went with my 4 year old son, 3 year old daughter, husband and mother in law. We all enjoyed walking the path and how peaceful it was. My daughter is autistic and rode on her dad's shoulders. She liked the bridge and stream. My son had too much energy and was very un-zen and tried to climb on plants and run around. If you're looking for something for 4 year old boys, this ain't it but everyone else loved it.

    We visit here every time we're in the area. The best time as far as I'm concerned is early October. I love this garden!

    A must see if in Northeast Hbr area. A nice spot on a gray day. Parking can get tight, but more parking across the street.

    Very cute view from the road, but even nicer to walk through. Worth the stop

    The helpful staff provided me with a map and suggested that I make a donation to visit the garden, which I happily did.
